If all you need are the needles, another one will show up in the JY soon...

As old as the plastic is on these, you have to be VERY careful when you're removing them. I have a very small pair of needle nose pliers I use to grab the metal base of the needle and then gently pull it up.

Bare hands are likely to break it.

If you still have both parts of your needles, see if you can super glue them back together, let the glue dry and then paint them.

There's no stress on the needles so it shouldn't be any problem to just glue them back together.

yeah when i traded the digi's out, and got the analog's from a friend in the ups, they were broken, where the clear cover covers the gauges, so when ever i pull the dash they come in two pieces, so yeah and i don't know when they broke, cause when i was reinstalling them they were gone. So i need the whole thing know, but i will post pics of the dash when i get it all painted up, looks clean, but need some tlc...

lookin good fub, a can you find some bolts that fit the power steering rack, where the lines go in. i need to plug mine and this parts store sucks, nearest one 40 mi. so yeah, it'd be easy for you since the engine's out. please. Man what happened to that door, my bro's cougar looked that way after the axle came out...and i love that s30, but don't let nismo see it he'll complain about the exhaust.

My Driver door? When i bought the car, it only had oen hinge on it. it droped to the ground and poped on the fender. The door is fixed now. but i still got the fender to go. And the exhaust on the S30 was like that when he bougth it. And No it's not staying. I have No idea why you said something about power steering. i have no problem with that.

i didn't say you had a problem, can you take the line to the rack off, and find bolts to plug the holes, mine are hard to get to, the turbo's in the way and the grounds wet. And sell me those bolts, i want manuel, and i was saying the doors mighty dented towards the bottom. I kinda want to find a s30 for another turbo motor i can get...

ahh maybe i'm blind or blonde, don't know...where the power steering lines go into the rack n pinion, remove those lines and find some bolts to plug them. i can't reach mine, so was wondering if you could help me out while your engine is out. That way i get rid of the wobbling power steering pump.
